Display and corresponding support, emissive lighting display modules and packaging for such display modules

Abstract

Display including comprising a support holding a number of emissive lighting modules of single or multiple types wherein whereby the emissive lighting modules are provided of a mechanical packaging of non-rectilinear geometry, optionally a triangular, a rectangular, a pentagonal, a hexagonal or an octagonal geometry; and wherein the whereby said support can have a two or three dimensional shape, and optionally can be a display tile assembly, a brick assembly, a pole assembly, a cabled assembly, a strip assembly, a grid assembly, a direct-mount display assembly, a mounting curtain assembly section and / or a curtain bar mechanism.

Description

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION [0001] 1. Field of the Invention [0002] The present invention relates to packaging geometries for emissive lighting display modules and the corresponding support mechanisms that enable large-scale display applications. In particular, the present invention relates to an adaptable support framework and non-rectilinear display module packages that achieve non-orthogonal large-scale display geometries. [0003] 2. Discussion of the Related Art [0004] Conventional incandescent lamps, fluorescent lamps, and neon tubes have long been used to illuminate many large-scale commercial and public signs. However, the market is now demanding cheaper and larger displays that have the flexibility to customize display sizes and colors, that have lighting, image and video capability, and that are easy to install, maintain and disassemble, especially for use in temporary venues; these are market specifications that are not possible with the older technologies. As a result, man...

Benefits of technology

[0015] The present invention also handles about a support which can be used in a display according to the invention, where such support can be a display tile assembly, a brick assembly, a pole assembly, a cabled assembly, a strip assembly, a grid assembly, a direct-mount display assembly, a mounting curtain assembly section and / or a curtain bar mechanism.

Problems solved by technology

However, the market is now demanding cheaper and larger displays that have the flexibility to customize display sizes and colors, that have lighting, image and video capability, and that are easy to install, maintain and disassemble, especially for use in temporary venues; these are market specifications that are not possible with the older technologies.

The configurations of these large-scale displays are often inflexible and have few display geometries and support frameworks and, therefore, result in standard rectilinear displays, such as billboards.

Further, these displays are not always designed from the standpoint of easy assembly or maintenance and, at best, ready access of lighting elements is often considered late in the execution of the design.

However, the U.S. Pat. No. 6,314,669 patent fails to provide a means of creating large-scale non-planar displays, such as vaulted shapes, saddle shapes, or other curved displays that may envelop interior or exterior walls and ceilings.

This can be problematic for many display designs that require an irregular pitch for unique lighting effects or to minimize wind loads.
